I wonder what happens if it drops faster than in the video.

Yeah, I reckon if you let it go from vertical, it would topple right over those knobs.
BTW if I ever look sideways at one of those, please shoot me......what a fugly piece of work!

Nice gentle let down for demo.
Like to see it with all 1000# going over fast as in a typical fall over.
Bet there'd be some whip lash damage.

Arlen Ness has some futuristic designs, but this is down right ugly even in the future!
I might get some slapping on the K11 site with this factoid  , but my HD touring bikes had the same tip-stopping capability with the front/rear guards.

On this site we ride what we like. Occasional ribbing about alternate MC ownership, but nothing that leaves any scars. 
Just not a Victory trike

That this is uglier than a newborn baby.
Or Bigfoots vagina, not sure which.
What happens when that monstrosity builds up some steam and is not a "controlled" drop like duck said?

Then it turns into $6k worth of damage... or leave it like a turtle on it's back and walk to your local BMW dealer
